Rob was a dedicated husband of 35 years to his wife, Gail, and a devoted father to his cherished daughters Courtney, Shannon and Allison. He was also a proud and loving Papa to his grandchildren, Finn and Maxwell, who brought immense joy to his life.
In addition to spending time with his family, Rob enjoyed golfing, playing guitar, and relaxing in his man cave. A passionate New England sports fan, he especially loved hockey and took great pleasure in cheering on the Boston Bruins.
Rob had a long and fulfilling career and truly loved his work and colleagues at ZRC Worldwide. His dedication and hard work were evident to all who worked with him.
Rob is survived by his beloved wife Gail Johnson (Beck), his loving daughters Courtney Ewell and her husband Christopher of Rockland, Shannon Johnson of Abington and Allison Johnson and her fiancé Joshua of Stuart, FL. He leaves behind his adored grandchildren Finn and Maxwell. He is also survived by his father, William Johnson and wife Claire Halifax; his brother William Johnson jr. and his wife Beverly of Abington; his brother Timothy Johnson and his wife Madonna of Abington; and his sister Debra Holland (Johnson) of Brockton. He is survived by loving in-laws, nieces, nephews and a host of long-time friends. He was preceded in death by his mother, Mary Cummings (Neely) and his loving Nana Dorothy Neely (Major).
Rob will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. His legacy of love and dedication to his family will live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know him.
A funeral service will be held on July 18, 2024, at 2:00pm at the Lutheran Church of the Cross, 77 Rockland St, Hanover, MA 02339. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to NVNA and Hospice of Norwell in Robert's honor.

Rob was a much loved co-worker at ZRC
Rob was so funny, entertaining with his quick wit, bright smile & heart warming laugh. He beamed talking about his grandsons. Rob was a loyal, dedicated & conscientious hard worker. I admired his strong moral convictions with his resolute sense of right from wrong.
Mostly, I think of Rob as a super sweet, kind hearted guy. ZRC will truly not be the same without him.
My thoughts are with his wife Gail and their 3 daughters, his brothers & sister.
I hope the memories of Rob help them find some peace and comfort.

Words cannot express how much Rob will be missed at work. He was the true definition of a "stand up guy".
His love for his family was always on full display and I enjoyed seeing pictures of his grandson´s often. Rob's face lit up talking about Finn and Maxwell.
He was hard working but always managed to keep things fun by cracking jokes. He made ZRC a better place to be.
My condolences to Gail, Courtney, Shannon and Allison. As well as his brothers Tim and Billy and his sister Debra.

The photo above is exactly how we remember Bob. As a neighbor he was always doing small things in his yard. He had a soft and kind voice as well as a wonderful laugh. We will miss seeing him in his yard or on his deck playing his guitar. Our thoughts are with Gail and the three girls.
